First ride on the Computrainer tonight!
Tonight I had my first ride on the Computrainer and it's AWESOME. It is, however, like everyone said it was... MUCH harder than riding outdoors. Between my having not ridden in a month or so (darn winter weather) and the constant wattage my legs are totally blown and I feel like I'm walking on Jelly.
I may start documenting my progress with the CT and charting it online if anyone is interested.

I highly recommend this software https://perfprostudio.com/Studio.aspx
It does everything you can possibly want. Not only does it have the database and analyzer features but the studio portion Can convert your gps rides to erg files, it can sync your gopro video to a ride file and also syncs the suffer fest videos. It also has the ability to use any ant+ sensors so you don't need to run all of the computrainer wires making it easier to get yor bike in/ out of the stand. I've been using it for a year and a half and perfpro software is heads and shoulders over the standard software and even the rm1 suite. The only other thing I would recommend is checking out the erg videos. They really do make indoor training enjoyable.
